EssaySnark's Strategies for the 2017-'18 MBA Admissions Essays for Columbia Business School
Columbia has essay questions that are very straightforward – but the rest of their admissions process can seem incredibly complicated. J-Term? Early Decision? Deferred Decision? Rolling Admissions? What do all these things mean?
EssaySnark’s 2017 MBA application Strategy Guide for Columbia Business School lays out all these options for a full-time applicant and explains where the advantages lie. We give you a simple map to the very different processes in effect at Columbia, and we explain who’s a good fit for which option. Importantly, we also tell you flat-out when you should apply, based on which program you’re targeting and which strategies you’ve adopted.
And of course we dissect the Columbia essays, in great detail, with a sketch of how to approach each one. We cover the importance of career goals — including your so-called “dream job” — plus the (very short!) Columbia short-answer question about immediate post-MBA professional goals. We explain what to do with Essay 1 about why you want to get a Columbia MBA, and we offer how to talk about why you want to go to Columbia in Essay 2. We also give guidelines on what makes a good answer to Essay 3, and all along the way we give you advice for tying it all together and making your essays stand out from the crowd.
This edition also includes insights on Columbia’s premier Value Investing Program, along with direct guidance on whether the J-Term might be a good option. We also of course lay out the advantages and some disadvantages to applying through Early Decision.
Plus, with a first publication date of May 28, 2017, the EssaySnark Columbia guide is the earliest MBA application guide available for the 2017-2018 season available on the market — the essay questions were only released on April 18! This guide is also nearly ten pages longer than the previous version was (and that version was ten pages longer than its predecessor).
The Columbia application opens earlier than anyone’s. Get started today with this SnarkStrategies guide, 2016 edition!

Just bought the Columbia guide and read it cover to cover. All the gazillion questions on what to cover and how much detailing that may come to a novice B school applicant as yours truly are covered. Needless to say highly recommend.
